No Grit Near By Dr's Meadow

Reported via desktop in the Salt/ grit bins- new request category anonymously at 11:16, Saturday 7 February 2026

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14198928.

There are a lot of residents on Dr's Meadow, but there are no grit bins near by (and they are all up some sort of hill - not ideal in the snow). It would be beneficial to have one somewhere on the estate for residents. When it snows, the estate is very slippery - especially when it's compressed and has thawed/ frozen. The estate is also quite windy, so easy to go into an uncontrolled slide, even with caution.

  • We have completed a risk assessment following your request for a new grit/ salt bin. This includes factors such as the gradient of the site, proximity to a junction or severe bend and the number of households served.

    Unfortunately, it does not meet the criteria so a new grit/ salt bin will not be provided.

    More information regarding where we grit and our winter service policy can be found at: https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/ roads-and-highways/ / highways-maintenance/ winter-maintenance/

    State changed to: No further action
